I'm going to need yall to post actual moves and not everything you see on those discord bots or whatever is being used. All of these short term loans is becoming spam at this rate. And leave out anything being sent to Zerega....it doesn't change the depot assignments at all.

This is also largely dependent on how many buses are used on regular day at CS. Outside of buses held for maintenance, the depot is never empty and always has spares. The XEs won't be replacement buses, but to add to the fleet in general. The next big order will push out a lot of buses. 4966 was supposed to go to the other depots that's supposed to receive the buses, but that one bus has been going through quite a bit of problems.

They still do. The hybrids I know are still around, the diesels, I'm not sure. Next time, use the random thoughts thread.

That was not the reason why they were all pulled from service. The gearboxes on cars 4070 and up have been leaking out oil, causing the trucks to develop massive, severe flat spots. 4060-4069 have the original R160 trucks and those are unaffected. 4070 and up have a new truck design.

Just to clarify, buses used on subway shuttles do not get sent from one depot to another. Buses used on subway shuttles return to the depots they came from at the end of their run. Now, lets get back on topic.

No they don't. That has never, ever happened. They can't send a CNG bus to QV in particular since QV can't even fuel the bloody thing. It's just tracker being stupid. Stop making things up. 1. See response above. 2. Distance does not matter when it comes to open shuttle work. If depots have open work for shuttles, they'll do it. Staten Island has done subway shuttles in Manhattan, Queens and The Bronx, so it doesn't matter how far it is from the job.

Hard disagree. The 4800s are the best blue & white XD40s we got. Ehhh, not so much. Those 5900s got sluggish much quicker than expected. The buses they ended up getting from elsewhere were much better, especially 5799. They haven't gotten that much better even with the rehab. The suspensions on those buses are garbage and they sway way too easily compared to the rest of the XD40s especially at speed just like the 6000 series Orion Vs they had. Stengel for a fact has the worst batch of XD40s in the system as a whole. The Brooklyn 7100s are a bit better(especially ENYs).

They've already taken over transdev operations as of the 1st of this month. NJT is using the transdev garage for operations until they can figure out where they can store the buses and which garages will be willing to take on those routes. Howell already vetoed the idea of them operating those routes.

I've checked. You have at least 4-5 other accounts listed under the same IPs you use.....

Either stick with one account or I'm getting rid of all. You have an unusually high number of accounts.

It was at Gleason for maintenance.

Currently sitting at Ironbound.

Transitron? Is that a site or something?

Source or image? It does fit with what Eastchester receives with 9354-9387.

...you're not new. Stick with one account or I'm getting rid of both.

.....they've been bad for several years.

I don't think the Airport NABIs will be leaving. I've seen them in use during the day and in some evenings.

Variety doesn't help with maintenance.

Because there's literally no need for new CNG buses. The CNG tanks are for 15-20 years. It doesn't matter if it's boring or not, they're in good shape and will last long.

I don't see how this is a problem. It's not like they are running decrepit buses. Those C40LFs are in pretty good shape for their age.

...what next order? No new bus order has been announced for NYCT. MTA Bus is getting new XD40s. Jamaica won't see any of it. I see it at QV. It could be one of those lines that also interlines with the Q43(if that stays at QV that is) and the Union Turnpike routes. With the way some of these routes are planned, anything can happen.

There's a few buses going towards Williamsburg. There's also diversions on the route due to a parade of some sort.

It depends if they'll be able to transfer over just like the Transdev ops. Since it's Coach USA, they'll likely be moved to other garages and such.

QV is actually closer to QCC by 3 miles compared to Stengel. Stengel is about 8 miles whereas QV is about 5 miles. Forest Park to Casey Stengel is also about 8 miles. The Q73 would work at either depot.
